The London Midland and Scottish Railway Class 2P 4-4-0 was a class of steam locomotive designed for light passenger work. The class was introduced in 1928 and was a post-grouping development of the Midland Railway 483 Class with modified dimensions and reduced boiler mountings. Numbers 633 and 653 were fitted with Dabeg feedwater heater in 1933. After nationalisation in 1948, British Railways added 40000 to the numbers of the remaining 136 engines. Further withdrawals came between 1954 and 1962. All were scrapped. |
